Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, with more than 1,000 islands, and inland with mountains and lakes, it shines as a hidden gem on the tourist trail. Stretching out along the coast, lapped by the warm, clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, Croatia offers a beach resort or a charming Mediterranean town to suit all tastes. Croatia holidays are great as a combination of sunbathing and swimming in the crystal turquoise sea with visits to historical and cultural sites.
